The large format Canon ImagePROGRAF iPF6000S printer from the S-Series is notable for the versatile and fairly smaller footprint combined with quality output and impressive print speeds. The Canon ImagePROGRAF iPF6000S inkjet printer is specifically designed for graphic artists and is integrated with a generous 80GB hard drive, borderless printing, and other convenient features required by professional designers. Initial cost is quite high, though, and the absence of direct print capabilities makes it inefficient.
Design
The Canon ImagePROGRAF iPF6000S large format printer is a stylish machine with the sleek enclosure and curved edges, a minimalist control panel, and a printer stand for added height. The Canon iPF6000S printer runs on 256MB of RAM and connectivity is available through Ethernet, high-speed USB 2.0, and an optional Firewire. Media width is between 8 to 24 inches of cut sheet and roll. The inkjet engine is surprisingly quiet while in operation.
Advantages
The 8-ink system ensures high quality, vivid, and photographic output. The print speeds are impressive, at up to 294 feet per hour, while output on A1-sized media is ready in a minute. The ImagePROGRAF iPF6000S large format colour printer comes with an 80GB hard disk drive, built-in calibration, and economy colour mode for savings and better productivity. It supports borderless printing, too. The Canon ImagePROGRAF iPF6000S comes with PosterArtist Lite software for poster creation. An 8 colour LUCIA pigment ink system is used to ensure that the Canon ImagePROGRAF iPF6000S printer inks are scratch resistant and can offer light fastness for up to 100 years.
Disadvantages
Because this is a large format printer, it is quite bulky at 46.5 inches wide. The Canon iPF6000S inkjet printer weighs approximately 66Kg. The status LCD could have been made bigger. The Canon iPF-6000S ImagePROGRAF printer could use some memory card slots and an additional USB port in front for direct printing convenience. Finally, there is the high initial cost, which may turn off the budget-conscious small business owner.
